48 Days and Counting...


Wow, it's really starting to sink in - we're going to Ethiopia! I still can't believe it. We have our tickets booked, I spoke to the international pediatrician this morning, and I'm already starting our packing/to-do list (yes, for those that know me I'm overly organized)!

We also have another milestone this week - Ean is spending 2 whole nights away from us! It's, in part, a test to see how he will manage our first trip since he's never been away from us for more than one night.

It started off great - he was so excited about going to be with Kristin and Justin. I was helping him pack his bag and he kept rolling it around say "go Kristin's, see Justin, see Eli" (who is their dog). Then, I rushed home yesterday to say bye before he left and he was SOOO excited! He ran to their truck, climbed in the carseat and told Carlos and I to go "back inside." Ha, so much for the tearful good-bye:) I think he's going to be just fine!

I also sent our VISA applications today so that's another huge milestone...now, I have to resist starting to pack our bags!
